Lotus has this week unveiled its new Lotus C-01 superbike they have created which has been designed by Daniel Simon, famous for his work from the Hollywood movies Tron: Legacy, Oblivion, and Captain America.
However unlike the bikes created by Daniel Simon for the movies the new Lotus C-01 superbike will actually be available to purchase. Lotus is currently preparing to manufacture a limited run of 100 Lotus C-01 superbikes in conjunction with German manufacturer Kodewa.


Kodewa and Lotus have worked together in the past to create a variety racing projects and the new Lotus C-01 superbike will be available in three finishes that include British racing green and the Martini colours. Daniel Simon explains a little more about his design for the new Lotus C-01 superbike.
“We have worked hard to create a motorcycle with very distinctive features such as a clean main body, an extremely low side profile, a bold stance, a unique air intake, logical partline solutions and clean graphics.”

Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 and Galaxy Gear Neo Leaked

Yesterday, we heard a rumor that Samsung will also launch the Galaxy Gear Fit alongside the highly rumored Samsung Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Gear 2.
Well, it turns out the rumor was correct after all. The well-known Twitter leaker @evleaks has posted a few images of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 and Galaxy Gear Neo, at least now we know what the second health-related wearable will be called.

They look quite similar to their predecessor, but it seems one of them is made of plastic while the other one comes with a metallic look. Well, if you recall the earlier rumor, Samsung Galaxy Gear Fit will not have a camera in the strap, although we cant tell it from the images, but it could be possible. Both watches also have a home button beneath the display.
And, using the name “Neo” is nothing new. Recently, Samsung unveiled a few handsets with the name, which are the trimmed down versions of their handsets, such as the Galaxy Note 3 Neo, etc.
Samsung Unpacked event is just a day away where the company is expected to unveil a bunch of products including the successor of the Galaxy Gear, Samsung Galaxy S5 and now, Galaxy Gear Neo (at least this is the name prolific leaker is calling it). Stay tuned as it’s going to be an action packed event.

Spigen Case Listing on Amazon Confirms Two Galaxy S5 Versions

In less than two days, Mobile World Congress will kick off in all its glory. One of the most hyped products and highly rumored products that will see the light of the day at the event is the Samsung Galaxy S5. I can’t recall a day this month when we didn’t hear anything about the upcoming flagship device from the Korean OEM.
It’s nothing different today as some alleged case listings have appeared on Amazon, hinting at the possibility of two versions of the Samsung Galaxy S5, which we’ve heard several times in the past.

If you can’t recall, Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities mentioned a few weeks back that Samsung will launch two versions of the handset. One will be known as the “Standard” version while the other one will be the “Prime” version which will come with QHD resolution.

Well, it  turns out he was correct after all as the popular case make Spigen has posted a product listing that clearly confirms about the two versions. One of the bullet in the product description says, “Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S5 (2014) & Galaxy S5 Prime (2014).”

Another interesting thing to note in the images of the device are that some of them have the home button, while others don’t. Well, there’s a chance these images are fake, but we should take it with appropriate speculation as case makers usually put up product listing to create hype. There’s also a chance they know about it. And, the availability of the on-screen buttons could be another difference between the Standard and the Prime version
